This may look like a lot of code, but if we break it down, you will see
there are only a few key pieces to it.
First, ?¬? nd where the head tag closes about a third of the
way down. Above it is the code the browser needs to display the
page, and below, following the body tag, is the content that will be
displayed.
Starting from the very top, after the required DOCTYPE and XHTML
tag comes the head of the document, which contains the title tag
and two link tags. The link tags connect two style sheets in the Stylib
library to this page, which provide the page with the CSS for the
page layout and the text stylings, respectively. We will examine these
style sheets in detail in a moment.
In the body of the document are four divs??”header, nav(igation),
content, and footer??”with their respective inner divs. Let??™s see what
it takes to lay these divs out so that nav and content divs sit side-byside,
with the full-width header and footer above and below them,
respectively. Here??™s the CSS that makes this happen, which is in the
linked style sheet 2_col.css. (The link to this style sheet is highlighted
at the top of the code above.
